<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevo, post: 1198147, member: 24781&quot;]If indeed it is tape residue a bath in pure acetone followed by distilled water rinse may do the trick. There is also a spot of pvc residue by the o in one that the acetone should also remove. .&nbsp; I suspect that your coin was toned and has been dipped leaving just a hint of the toning remaining on the coin. If this is the case acetone will do nothing, and i suspect another dip will suck the remaining luster right out of your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t worry about being labeled a &quot;doctor&quot; for this. What we are talking about is just basic conservation techniques that all collectors should be able to employ. Doctoring is moving metal, or adding color, or re-engraving details ect. Saving your coins from further surface damage from contaminants such as pvc and tape residue is in NO WAY doctoring.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
